Will Yakima SpareRide Spare Tire Mount Bike Carrier Fit a Jeep with 35x12.5 Spare Tire

Updated 08/12/2015 | Published 08/11/2015

Question:

Will this rack work on my significantly oversized tires/rim 35x12.5inch wide on 10wide rim. I have these oversized tires on a 2011 Jeep JK 4 door. I am concerned that it will fit and stay completely stable i sometimes haul my bikes 200 miles at a time in my jeep I want to be sure the bike rack will not come undone on the highway or anywhere.

Your 35x12.5 tires are the maximum width size that can be used with the Yakima SpareRide bike carrier # Y02599 (12.5).

The carrier mount bolts to the spare tire mount so it would not come off once you have it installed unless you remove the spare tire to remove the carrier. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you.
